According to police report, the suspects were
arrested on Thursday when policemen attached to Ayetoro Division were on
routine patrol and accosted the duo of Popoola and Ajiroba on a Bajaj
motorcycle along Idagba Olodo Road, with a bag which looked suspicious.
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
Abimbola Oyeyemi, said a search was conducted on them and the two human skulls
were discovered in the said bag.
He said the duo were promptly arrested and
taken to Ayetoro Police Station where they told the investigators that the
skulls were given to them by Jimoh Ijiola who live in Erinpa area of the town.
Oyeyemi said based on the information, the
Divisional Police Officer, Ayetoro Division, Makinde Kayode, led detectives to
the resident of the suspect where he was also arrested.
He said, “In his own statement, Ijiola denied
being the person that gave them the skulls, but said that they all got them
from neighbouring Republic of Benin and that their intention was to use it for
money rituals.”
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police,
Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the case to be transferred to State Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department, Abeokuta, for further investigation
and possible prosecution of the suspects.
